        All 41 men who were rescued from a collapsed tunnel in the Indian Himalayas earlier this week are well and will return to their homes in coming days after being discharged from the hospital where they were undergoing treatment.
        
        The men, all construction workers hailing from some of India's poorest states, were trapped in the under-construction tunnel in Uttarakhand state for 17 days before they were pulled out on Tuesday.
        
        Doctors at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in nearby Rishikesh city said all 41 workers are "physically normal" and "clinically stable", and have been medically cleared for discharge.
        
        The hospital is coordinating with officials from their home states to facilitate their return.
